Can't wait to see what this is all about...

 

pretty sure someone was talking about this place recently...

Went to stokes two weeks ago and liked it a lot had ten fidy with peppers and was get they also had hopslam and a great local tap list

 

You son of a bitch.

Yay! Maybe nudge Rick and tell him the South Hills would love this stuff.

 

I stop in at least once a month as its close enough to stumble home if it ever got to that. They actually do some of the best infusions (both beer and spirits) I've come across. Most of the food is mediocre bar-fare but the soups (always 6+) are on point.

 

I really like the food there. It was one of the first places in the greater Pgh, if not THE first, to serve "elevated" small plates/tapas & have a really good beer selection to match. It's pricy, to be sure, but I think you get what you pay for, & it's not prohibitively expensive if you're just looking to chill & have a beer or two. Plus the atmosphere is pretty casual.

 

Have they graduated to glassware yet? I remember more than once being handed a plastic cup when I got a bottle.

 

l always enjoy the Headkeeper. It is a great spot in nicer weather as their patio is really nice. They serve tappas-style plates. Draft selection is not huge, but it is typically well-curated and there is an expansive cooler with lots to chose from. They tend to have a really nice Belgian selection as well.

 

Never had that problem. If you're sitting outside I believe its a rule. Plus, its Greensburg so plastic cups are #properglassware.

 

I wanted to like Mr Bones but always had a sub-par experience when I went. After 3x I haven't been back.

 

Tried fresh batch of Jah mon from Rivertowne and it is delicious!

 

I just talked with their social media guy, Al, a few days ago & now really want to try this one. Had no idea it was an IPA, just based on the name I'd assumed it was a coffee something-or-other.

 

I think it's one of the better beers I've had from them to be honest. It's a nice easy drinker.

 

Anyone been to Cure ?

They have a Beer and Bites event with @voodoobrewery I was thinking of checking out.

Yes it rules. I'm thinking of going as well. You will not be disappointed.

 

Shorts is coming to Pittsburgh. Signed to Wilson McGinley, rollout begins March 21st.

 

Just gotta see if my calendar matches up, but I am not sure if it will. You know. Kids. They put the kabosh on all fun.

 

Cure is a delicious restaurant. Everyone should go there. Like now. Like right now. Its that good.

 

I would dare say I liked Morcilla more....but they are neck and neck.

They say it's a session but at 5% I think could be 4.5%, it's a pretty rad pale ale with nice nose and hop flavor! They should put some coffee in this for a small batch or firkin and I bet it would be awesome!
